Currently we have 2 types of vhost backends in QEMU: vhost kernel and
vhost-user. The above patch provides a generic device for vDPA purpose,
this vDPA device exposes to user space a non-vendor-specific configuration
interface for setting up a vhost HW accelerator, this patch set introduces
a third vhost backend called vhost-vdpa based on the vDPA interface.
Vhost-vdpa usage:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -enable-kvm \
......
-netdev type=vhost-vdpa,vhostdev=/dev/vhost-vdpa-id,id=vhost-vdpa0 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vhost-vdpa0,page-per-vq=on \
